Learn to sow and make them fit. lol Or get someone to do it for ya

I remember everything that was going on wiht Love park. Kerry Getz and his shop rigiht down the street was doing htere part to save love park them selves. Making "Free Love Park" shirts and all this other shit he was doing to make money. They had a shit load of ads in the 411'a too. Shows how much respect we get when we do soooooo much to help save one of the worlds best skate spots, and nothign happens besides it going b ye bye.

As has already been stated in this thread Mike V fights people and so on. Millions of people have seen that video with the title ' skateboarder fights 3 jocks and wins' or something like that. It gives skateboarding a bad image, it would be much nicer if skateboarders had a good clean image so we wouldn't get kicked out of all the spots we try to skate after 5 minutes. People don't respect us"

Ok i see your point but once again you can't just see that one clip and not know whats actually going on. The reason that whole thing started is becasue Mike and some other skaters went into a 711 and as they were leaven a bunch of jokers from a near college were drunk and sayin mad shit. And Mike waved it off like "w/e who cares a bunch of stupid drunk college kids" and the college kids said that mike better watch his mouth or they will kick his ass and he replied "thats funny i bet i can take all four of you on my own". another smart reply from the kids and mike took them all out. SO i can see why you would THINK he is setting a bad image but at the same time he's showing us not to be bitches, stand up for the shit you beleave in. Sure he regreats it watch "Mike V's greatest hits" it's about all his fight and he explains everything out in full detail. You can't judge from one little clip you saw you need to see the whole thing to understand. You can't honestly sit there and tell me if some kids were sayin shit to you, you would sit there and do nothing about it????

Also you said "it would be much nicer if skateboarders had a good clean image so we wouldn't get kicked out of all the spots we try to skate after 5 minutes. People don't respect us, we can't get funding for parks because we're 'just a bunch of kids',"

yes it would be nice to be able to skate spots with out getting a prob but you gotta see it form their point of views. We are getting thrown out because we are fucking up their shit. Runining somehtign we didn't pay to be made. Skaters skating spots and fucking them up wiht wax and grinding and shit is the reason we get thrown out. There's nothing at all we can do about that at all. WE either ruin private property or we are causeing disturbence or something.....As of the part you said about the skateparks and us just being kids and not being able to do nothing about it... There is most deffently shit you can do just like here in Edison he had absolutly nothing. We got MAD MAD MAD kids to sign wavers we pushed shit for years and we finally got one. As long as you beleave in getting somehtign like a skatepark you gotta do what you gotta do to get something. Trust me i'm not sayin it's easy but it happens over time not over night. You work real fucking hard at it you'll get it.

Anyway cool to see you answering my post NoSide.

just wasn't sure if that was sarcasism or not. If so than oh ok cool. If not than no prob.

Heh... I hate Mike V, he just seems like such an idiot

As much as it's your own thought. I would like to see why you think he is an idiot??? He paved the way for many skaters and had his own styl that everyone grew to love and surport. I was and still is an old school skater and if it was for old school you wouldn't have new school. As much as your gonna say mad shit about this post, i don't care that much much you had your thoughts these are mine. I'm not trying to start shit or anything i'm just sayin how Mike V was a good inspirational skater. Skateboarding did in fact saved his life and he showed the world how he accomplished he higher goals.

Ahh such a great thread. A good inspirational person you all should deffently check out is Mike Vallely. Some of you i'm sure know who he is, he made such great movies about his life and how skateboarding saved his life. The words he uses and the style he has makes him my favorite skater of all time for the past 6 years. He's from my home town of Edison New Jersey and like i said in the videos he made he shows there is hope for everybody, all you have to do is lead the way and try your hardest/best.
